Putnam Patriot The grounds of the Stafford Agricultural Society have been greatly improved since last year, aud new buildings have been erected to accommo- date the large exhibit. Why does this fair have to build new buildinds to accom- modate its increasing competitions Be cause it never advertises only what it has, and generally has more than it advertises.

We clip the following from a core spondent in the Willimantic prohibition paper, The Home, of last week. He was on a drive from that village along the val ley to Holland Street The most thrifty and substantial looking village along the line is South Wilmington, where is located the large thread plant of Gardner Hall X Go. The homes of the operatives look pleasant and cleanly and are healthfully located. The large substantial warehouses and factories give an air of surprising bus mess growth and activity. This little VII lage and its industry have been chiefly de- veloped by the present proprietor Gardner Hall, Jr., whose push and thrift and re- markable inventive skill have made him widely known among manufacturers. Mr. Hall takes active interest in the welfare of his employees and is held in high esteem by them. He Is especially interested in the temperance work and occasionally se- cures speakers to address his people on that subject, ill the pleasant entertainment hall which is one of the features of the village Workmen were busy on the day I was there in preparing for the foundation for the large new mill which MT. Hall is to build, probably next spring. The busi- ness of the firm has greatly outrun the present capacity of its mills. The new mill is to be built, above the heavy stone foundation, of brick and wood. It will stand just back of the store, and across the space in front of the reservoir to the wheel house. It will be about 190x50 feet, three stories high It will be used for thread manufacture, and the present mill turned into a spool shop. MT. Hall also contem- plates next spring or within a year or two, extensive changes in the dye house and bleachery arrangements, including a new two-story building, for these purposes, about 100x60. The plant thus improved will comprise in the different buildings, an enormous floor space, all of which, accord ing to the plans contemplated, will be so connected that it can be reached without going out of doors.

Correspondence.
 IMPRovEMENTs.-It is said that "west- ward the Star of Empire wends its way " This is true nationally, but when married to our town its force is partially lost White improvements in mills and tene- ements adapted to the use of operatives are apparent on the western end of our town, the eastern portion is keeping pace and erecting buildings, as dwellings, of high order. We would draw no invidious com parisons. The enterprise manifested in the erection of these improvements calls for favorable comment, whether made in the eastern or western portion. A foun- dation to building has been laid recently on Mountain Avenue, in the eastern part of the town, that is of gigantic proportions There Is good deal of mystery surround ing those walls and speculation as to just what the superstructure will be upon so secure foundation. The owner has, we learn, intimated that a church edifiee was about to loom up on these walls., It is said to be undenominational and will present a peculiarity inasmuch as no Sunday col lections will be taken at any lime. It is not determined whether the pews will be free or not. The founder of thB church is a man of ample means and may deem it a Qigh privilege to meet all of the expenses
 
 upon his neighbors to aid him in this par ticular. When the subject of no collect ions was mentioned a neighbort at once assured him that he would be enrolled as regular attendant. Doubtless large con- gre9ation upon these terms will be assured before the edifice is dedicated In fact some prototypes of the old deacon can be found, who said that "he had been a mem Der of the church for more than forty year and it hadn't cost him cent" Some of these can be counted on sure. Also some of those who delight as did "Kelep Cobb" in one of Josiah Aliens wife's books, in the fact that "salvation is free," perfectly willing to accept it without cost. The writer does not feel by any means assured that a church will be erected, as stated but gives it simply as rumor, and sees no i'm mediate cause for uneasiness upon the part of any who are interested in the churches already ill use in our town.

The Holland County Agricultural So. ciety struck a big thing last year in it's grange exhibit, one that has been the drawing card of that and the present year. Rockville is fortunate in having within a five miles limit the meeting place of three of the most active granges in eastern Con- necticut. These have made the exhibit largely matter of local pride, and for two years have made the fair success, but in return have drawn comparatively small sums from it's treasury. They do not feel inclined to go on longer unless they are better compensated for their work. If the Rockville managers are wise they will cheerfully offer prizes to make it an object for the granges to do as well, or better even, in the future. The Stafford society will doubtless be able to make the grange feature work another year. Ustil this year Stafford has had .Ao graAesAana the one started last spring needs Season of winter Evenings and farmers leisure to make 1t strong. With strong grange in Stafford the Stafford society will feel like making it an object for the granges of the neighborhood to exercise their ingenuity and skill in making attractive displays of the products of husbandry and house. wifery.

borders of the Smith pool were advanced

southern borders were pushed forward quite

70-barrel an houI gait in the top of the
CAN'T sand, but her staying qualities were
not good, as she had fallen off 10 about IL
barrels an hour "a hours later. She found
no oil in the 80 foot sand The staying
qualities of Davis are phenomenal, her
present daily production being about $50
barrels. A number of wells on the south
ern edge of the pool are close to the sand
and should come in shortly.
In the TaylOrstOwn field the producing
wells are holding mp nobly, considering
the very shallow sand which furnishes the
oil. A number Of wells are now drilling

Effect Of the New Time.

A great many people were pretty we'll
mixed up yesterday over the change Of
time, some not being able to understand
the principle of the thing at all. Many
people did not even change their clocks
but were plodding along at the old city
time, while other people were rushing
along twenty-three minutes faster than
them. Men who made engagements on
the new time were compelled TO stand
around and wait for parties who had for
gotten to change their watches, while
others were either early or late for their
meals. Some people who didn't exactly
see through the matter kicked on getting
up so much earlier in the morning. What
should be done is to forget all about the
old city time and there will be no appar-
ent difference at all, but many people no
doubt will be twenty-three minutes late
in everything they do for some time to
come.

Attempts to Get Revenge.

Sidney Kemp, who was arrested Thurs
day night by Officer Charlie Stephens for
refusing to move on when ordered, in his
evidence yesterday morning in Police
Court, charged the officer with having
been drunk and sleeping an hour in Gus
Rippel's barber shop. ltseems that Kemp
has grudge against Officer Stephens and
had threatened to get revenge whenever he
could The officer acknowledged &c having
taken rest in the barber shop but he did
so because he was tired, and not drunk, as
Kemp alleges. Kemp and his partner,
Charles Larue, both of whom were arrested,
will have further hearing this morning.
